Bellhousing Plug
Wow...don't know what to say except thanks!
OK...so here is what I have done....I have driven the jeep for a total of about 400 kms since I have had it....the bell housing hole has not been plugged (I just plugged it yesterday when I saw it so dust-dirt will not get in-but I have since removed it) and oil has never come out of it. I will keep that hole unplugged from now on!
OK...now to the PCV valve....I took off the round cover from the side valve cover and rotated it out towards the fender....then I unscrewed the ventilator control valve from the PCV valve...and was able to actuate and see the open/closed when using the lever.....great now I know that "level" is open and 90 degrees or vertical its closed...great...however, try as I could with two 12 inch wrenches, I could not crack open the PCV valve or disconnect it from its left side elbow for cleaning....even after 2 hours soaked in liquid wrench....so, I was not able to clean the PCV valve...back to square one in figuring out the oil loss.
Thanks Rob....you are a wonderful resource that's making it easier to maintain this jeep.
